Pros

I loved being able to use an intelligent bot and program it my way, likewise, the best functionality is being able to mount it on any web page just by pasting the Json.
I like their UI the best, it is very intuitive, easy to understand, and looks beautiful. I can also customize their theme as per my website's requirements.
Quick and simple to use, looks elegant and very professional. The ability to upload images and files is excellent and can be integrated with the business site.

Pros

Sales and account team was fast, responsive, and had solid knowledge of the product. Technical team was readily accessible over a Slack bridge -- we loved that.
The performance is impressive, the API straightforward, and the iOS client code provided was good enough for us to build on and ship production worthy code quickly.
This was an awesome experience that got us deployed super quick. It is fully featured and ready out of the gates requiring very little adaptation.

Cons

I found it a bit difficult to incorporate in my website. The messages that I read in the morning accumulated in the inbox but with no real customer's names, so I was unable to know who was who.
Sound notifications were not working, the support staff said 'check your computer is not muted' - what. Is this a phone company telling me to check my router is plugged in.
Difficult to transfer chat. Really bad customer support.

Cons

We contacted the credit card company and asked to rebate the charges, and Sendbird fought it. We were unable to get anything at all.
Lack of flexibility with moderation, lack of multi user per account.
Which put all our users out and lost more than 30K DAU.
